Interviewing t.A.T.u. (hints)

[forre]

I thought to start this thread because a few people wonderred how you deal with them at the interviews.

All right, here's my advice:

1. Speak to them in Russian or try to get an interpreter. Using only English will give you one opinion - Lena's. The answers would likely be very simple.

2. Don't push or ask direct question about their private lives. If you have to ask it, use an appropriate context. Reffer to the music or image.

3. Before you go for an interview, check out a few live interviews. Don't go after gossips and tabloids. But you can reffer to the gossips when interviewing them.

4. They like to talk, so give them a chance. Don't interrupt but use body language to mark what you think.

5. Try to establish an informal atmosphere. Pull a couple of jokes or similar. Don't take any pictures during the interview. It will spoil the whole thing. Take the pictures later at the end when asking miscellaneous things.


I hope it was some help to you.

oooh, thanks for the tips, i'll be sure to use them when i get my chance to interview them *slim chance*
thanks forre

You going to move this to the tatu forum?

[forre]

O-R-!-G-I-N, I can't do that. It's not really about the group. Let it stay on the General Forum.

I want to know...

It's up in Russian. A huge writing. It's in the States for the translation now because the translation has to be very accurate.

Hey forre have you posted your interview with them? I must have missed it if you had... How were they during your interview?

[forre]

jockdstylez, They were all right during my interview. We sat and talked like all normal people in the world. It was interesting. We had some comments aside and small talks. This inteview was more like a conversation.

The transcript of the interview will be up as soon as we get it back from the States.
